The United Colonies is one of the main five factions you get to join in the world of Starfield. Here is all you need to know if you want to join them.
Bethesda’s latest RPG, Starfield takes you out to an intergalactic adventure full of things to do and stories to experience. Starfield allows you to join one or many of the main factions present in its universe. Such a faction is the United Colonies.
The United Colonies is the biggest political and military faction in charge of the Settled Systems. United Colonies represents “the future of space republic idealized.” They aim to attain and maintain peace and stability through their political and military powers.
Moreover, they are also one of the two interstellar governments in the Settled Systems, controlling star systems Alpha Centauri, Sol, and Wolf. Although they have tried to extend their territory, conflicts with the Freestar Collective have prevented them from doing so.
The United Colonies Location
The United Colonies headquarters is in the city of New Atlantis, located on the planet Jemison, in the Alpha Centauri solar system. They live in harmony with another one of the main five factions, Constellation.
How to Join the United Colonies
You can start your adventure with the United Colonies fairly early on in the game. Once you finish a handful of missions with the Constellation, you will get an activity telling you to go to the MAST headquarters in New Atlantis, Jemison. There, Sarah Morgan will take you to meet John Tuala, a recruiter for the UC Vanguard. Tuala will ask you whether you want to join the Civilian Fleet of the United Colonies, known as the UC Vanguard.
Once you decide to join the UC Vanguard, you will be taken to the Vanguard Orientation Hall to sign a contract. After that, you will have to prove your worth by doing a few introductory and probationary missions. After doing well and receiving the test results from Tuala, you will have to swear an oath to finally become a member of the UC Vanguard and begin your UC quests from there.
